“I simply cannot praise your solicitor enough. He had a very professional yet friendly approach towards us and handled my nephew’s situation efficiently. The advice he gave, was also very useful as sometimes my nephew, myself and the general public are not aware of in terms of their legal rights.”

“My previous solicitors were pushing me to enter a guilty plea for a crime I never actually committed. Had I not been represented by Stephen Lickrish & Associates I would have been in Her Majesty’s custody at this moment in time – I do not intend on meeting anymore people in need of legal representation but I can honestly say that if I did I would know where to send them.”

“I was very impressed by the level of professionalism of your solicitors. I am obviously very happy with the result of my recent case and I believe that it would have been very hard to achieve this outcome without such diligence and guidance on your part and with the team you assembled.”

The most serious dishonestyoffence is robbery. If you are accused of robbery, the Prosecution have to prove that you have:

Stolen property, and

have used or threatened to use violence against a person in order to steal the property

This can include everything from street mugging, where the victim is threatened unless they hand over their wallet or phone, to attacks on businesses like corner shops or petrol stations where the cashier is forced to hand over the contents of the till.

Often, the evidence in a robbery case relies on forensic evidence such as fingerprints, DNA, or mobile phone cell-site analysis. While this can help the Prosecution, our solicitors have experience at successfully challenging the reliability of this evidence and our clients have been found Not Guilty because there was no evidence to convict them.

If you are accused of robbery, your case is so serious that only a Crown Court can deal with it. It can carry a maximum sentence of life imprisonment, and almost always carries a prison sentence. With any offence as serious as this, you need to know your solicitors are working hard preparing your case, and always looking for the best result possible.
